Table of ContentsReviewsChuck Newhall's Fearful Odds deserves to be read as a harrowing account of combat in Vietnam. But it demands to be read as a vivid, timeless portrayal of the trials of homecoming. If you care about America's warriors, and about how we as a society can help them come home after war, then you should read this book. Nathaniel Fick, author of One Bullet Away There have been many books written on PTSD. They are largely how to manuals incorporating prescriptive lessons on what to do about one or another type of emotional stress. Too often, these volumes render problems in black-and-white with comparably simple-minded remedies. Your volume is far better than the great majority of PTSD books. -Solomon H. Snyder, M.D., Johns Hopkins University Distinguished Service Professor of Neuroscience, Pharmacology and Psychiatry, Johns Hopkins University Chuck Newhall's compelling narrative account of combat action in Vietnam takes you to one of the darkest hellholes on earth-the A Shau Valley in 1968. Just when you thought that the war was over, Fearful Odds packs a punch in the gut you will be feeling for a long time. -Joseph L.
